Describing Bravura – Quest Rush ($1.99) can be a bit difficult. It’s part twitch action game, part RPG, and part puzzler. But however many genres you attempt to lump onto it, the “Rush" part of the moniker is fairly apt, as you can breeze through a ton of levels in no time, and have a blast doing it.
If you’ve ever played Vanillaware’s Odin Sphere, you’re familiar with the rotating sphere-like level setup of Bravura. Essentially, you’re going to be running on a plane that looks the same, but offers up a variety of different enemies and objectives along the way. No, it’s not an endless runner (even though you do run automatically), as each stage definitely has a finish line, and set quests to tackle.
As you’re running from point A to point B, you’ll find townsfolk to grab quests from, prisoners to save, monsters to defeat, crops to gather, and obstacles to avoid. In that regard, it is very runner-like in theory, but the comparisons stop there, really.
“Quests" are around a minute each, so you generally won’t get bored of doing the same few objectives over and over. Missions themselves range from “kill [x] amount of enemies" to “tap the screen to collect fruit," but they’re engaging enough, and the game quickly mixes up parameters to keep you on your toes. Despite the fact that the visuals could stand to look a little higher-res, the art and character designs are beautiful, and compliment the gameplay very nicely.
One of my favorite parts of Bravura is the combat system, which is a lot more nuanced than it seems at first glance. Not only can you slash forward, but you can also jump slash, power slash, and queue up ranged attacks and spells from your party members. Ranged and melee strikes must be used in tandem with one another on a constant basis if you want to succeed. For example, some enemies explode on contact, making them an ideal candidate for a quick arrow shot from your Ranger party member.
Bravura – Quest Rush is a ton of fun. There are unique bosses, lots of varied encounters, and a decent amount of customization options to keep you playing. If you’re not tinkering with your party to get the best setup for “just one more run," you’ll most likely be hacking and slashing away with a smile on your face.
I'm actually really enjoying this. great update, I love the ghosts.

Another day of trying to get back into it until even the weight of new content ceases to matter? Sign me up! </sarcasm>
They have really been good with updating this game lately. I've been playing it for over a year and haven't spent a dime on the game and still having fun with it.

Oh, it's one of these types of games, huh?
Yuck.
You can add friends, but there is nothing in the game that requires it. You can buy every item, every land expansions by yourself. That being said Add me I play every day @ kenshin1123

Just could never get into this. Don't see the point in all these FarmVille/cityville clones.
normally i'm not into the farming kind of games either. but TSTO has a lot extra going for it: an established Simpsons fan base, regular content updates and events, and the Simpsons' style of cheeky, "politically incorrect" humor. i don't consider myself a huge Simpsons fan but i've really enjoyed the game.
"...if you do end up watching the Treehouse of Horror XXIV episode of The Simpsons this Sunday, you'll have a chance to unlock a unique outfit for Homer in the game."
actually you'll need to sign in to the game once every day this week to claim a part of the outfit--starting this past Wednesday--and then answer a question after the episode on Sunday. so if you started playing the Halloween update after Wednesday you'll likely miss out on the outfit.
Also , if you are outside the US it won't be broadcast in time and you won't know the answer.
How so? Number one, it depends on where you live in the U.S. because, guess what? There's more than one time zone in the country. Shocker, right?
Number two, time shifting.
Number three, think before you type next time.
No need to be so rude!
the answer's already been published online by fans who cracked open the game binary. anyway i would think the developers would adjust the deadline accordingly.
I'm still enjoying the game, although the prices for some of the buildings is getting a bit crazy now. I always like these big content updates though. Add me if you like, let's share the goo! Hyo_seth
